一名角逐美国竞争最激烈选区之一的民主党众议院候选人，在纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹表态支持其竞选后保持沉默。
奥卡西奥-科特兹是一位在民主党内部影响力日益扩大的左翼激进派人物，她周三在社交媒体发文，向前拜登政府官员凯特·康利的初选胜利表示祝贺。
“我期待作为代表团成员一道努力，为全纽约的工薪家庭而战，”奥卡西奥-科特兹写道。
该帖子还庆祝了一名有望接替即将退休的纽约州民主党众议员杰罗尔德·纳德勒的民主党候选人，以及得到纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼支持的三名社会主义者候选人。

康利尚未就奥卡西奥-科特兹的支持表态，也未回应这三名极左翼候选人——长期任职纽约的官员布拉德·兰德、纽约州民主党众议员克莱尔·巴尔德斯以及活动人士达里亚利扎·阿维拉-谢瓦利尔——他们呼吁废除移民海关执法局（ICE）、直言不讳地批评以色列，并誓言在国会推进巴勒斯坦事业。
康利的大选对手、纽约州共和党众议员迈克·劳勒坚称，她必须对此作出回应。
“凯特，你到底选边站：你是拒绝奥卡西奥-科特兹和那些想要废除ICE、解散警察部队、撕裂我们边境的候选人，还是支持他们？”劳勒的竞选经理西罗·里卡迪在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。
“哈德逊谷地区的选民理应得到答案，而到目前为止，我们听到的只有你那令人不安的沉默，”他补充道。
兰德和阿维拉-谢瓦利尔此前曾呼吁解散警察部队，而后者则继续倡导废除监狱、停止所有驱逐行动。阿维拉-谢瓦利尔还转发了一条否认以色列生存权的推文，并协助在哥伦比亚大学成立了一个亲巴勒斯坦团体，该团体呼吁“彻底铲除西方文明”。
这三名得到曼达尼支持的候选人有望使被称为“小队”的左翼团体的人数翻倍，该非正式集团与奥卡西奥-科特兹立场高度一致，后者也支持废除ICE。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系康利的竞选团队置评。

民主党候选人扫清拥挤战场，将在纽约对阵特朗普支持的现任议员
康利在周四接受MS NOW采访时避免批评这些社会主义候选人，此番审查随之而来。
当被问及支持废除监狱、并暗示美国应为9/11事件负责的社会主义候选人时，康利谈及了自己的背景，而非直接回应问题。
“我参军并进入西点军校是因为9/11事件，因为我亲眼目睹了我们国家、我们州、我们哈德逊谷地区在那一天遭受的苦难和痛苦，”康利说道。“所以当你谈论美国政府对人民的责任时，就是要保障他们的安全。”
“虽然大家都知道，在纽约第17选区当选的纽约市议员们，民主党选民选择了一名西点军校毕业生、拥有16年陆军作战经验的老兵作为他们今年秋季竞选的代表，”康利补充道，此处指代她自己。
一名赢得周二纽约州参议院席位民主党初选的社会主义者、亲巴勒斯坦活动人士阿伯·卡瓦斯，在一段重新浮出水面的2017年视频中似乎为9/11事件辩解。
康利此前因在前总统乔·拜登的国家安全团队中的任职经历而受到审查。劳勒辩称，她淡化了自己所谓参与了前总统2021年混乱的阿富汗撤军行动，而这一事件正值她在国家安全委员会任职期间。
这场竞争激烈的选区预计将是全美竞争最激烈的选举之一，全国共和党预计将积极捍卫劳勒谋求第三个众议院任期的竞选。

‘Damning silence’: Swing-seat Democrat stays quiet after AOC voices support
Cait Conley has yet to comment on AOC’s support or address the three socialist candidates sharing Democratic ticket

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Democratic House hopeful vying for one of the nation’s most competitive districts is staying silent after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., voiced support for her campaign.
Ocasio-Cortez, a leftist firebrand with growing influence in the Democratic Party, congratulated former Biden administration official Cait Conley on her primary victory in a social media post Wednesday.
“I look forward to working together as a delegation as we fight for working families across New York,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
The post also celebrated a Democrat vying to succeed retiring Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., alongside three socialist candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
RISING SOCIALIST STARS ON TRACK TO CONGRESS: WHO ARE DARIALIZA AVILA CHEVALIER, BRAD LANDER AND CLAIRE VALDEZ?

Conley has yet to comment on Ocasio-Cortez’s support or address the trio of far-left candidates — longtime New York official Brad Lander, state Assembly member Claire Valdez, D-N.Y., and activist Darializa Avila-Chevalier — who have called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), are outspoken critics of Israel and have vowed to advance the Palestinian cause in Congress.
Conley’s general election opponent, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., insists she should have to answer for it.
“Which is it, Cait: do you reject AOC and the candidates who want to abolish ICE, defund the police, and tear down our borders, or do you embrace them?” Lawler’s campaign manager Ciro Riccardi said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“The Hudson Valley deserves an answer, and so far all we’ve heard is your damning silence,” he continued.
Lander and Avila-Chevalier previously called for defunding the police, while the latter has continued to advocate for abolishing prisons and stopping all deportations. Avila-Chevalier also reposted a tweet denying Israel’s right to exist and helped form a pro-Palestinian group at Columbia University that called for “the total eradication of Western civilization.”
The three Mamdani-backed candidates are expected to double the ranks of the left-wing group known as the “Squad,” an informal bloc closely aligned with Ocasio-Cortez, who also supports abolishing ICE.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Conley campaign for comment.

DEM CANDIDATE CLEARS CROWDED FIELD TO FACE TRUMP-BACKED INCUMBENT IN NY
The scrutiny comes after Conley avoided criticizing the socialist candidates during an interview with MS NOW on Thursday.
Asked about socialist candidates who support prison abolition and have suggested the United States deserved 9/11, Conley talked about her own background rather than directly addressing the question.
“I joined the Army and went to West Point because of 9/11 because I watched the suffering and pain that we as a nation, we as a state, we as the Hudson Valley, experienced that day,” Conley said. “And so when you talk about the American government’s responsibility to the people, it is to keep it safe.”
“While, you know, folks were elected down in New York City, in New York-17, Democratic voters chose a West Point grad and 16-year Army combat veteran to be their representative in this fight this fall,” Conley added, referring to herself.
Aber Kawas, a socialist and pro-Palestinian activist who won a Democratic primary for a New York State Senate seat Tuesday, appeared to justify 9/11 in a resurfaced 2017 video.
Conley has previously faced scrutiny over her role on former President Joe Biden’s national security team. Lawler has argued that she downplayed her alleged involvement in the former president’s botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, which coincided with her time on the National Security Council.
The battleground race is expected to be one of the most hotly-contested races in the country, with national Republicans expected to aggressively defend Lawler’s bid for a third House term.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the contest as a “toss-up” after shifting the race in favor of Democrats earlier this year.
In 2024, former Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly won the purple district, where Democrats hold a sizable voter registration advantage.
